Warehouse Career Is Not Trouble Free At All

By George Dodson


The duties of warehouse workers depend on the types of ware house but in general in most of the workers sort, organize, level and store different goods. As a ware house worker you may have to organize the products. You may have to do hard work doing lifting heavy and in some cases knowledge on computer database system is also essential.

When your duty is to track and receive the merchandise

Different products come to warehouses by different means like truck, cargo, train etc and you have to unload them on receiving floor. When the shipments arrive, workers index them first and then carry them to their suitable places.

When you are a worker of this section your duty includes packaging or printing of packaging slips. Loading and unloading trucks can also be your duty.

You can see about 100 boxes are waiting for the UPS driver on loading dock. Gathering boxes is actually an easy task. As a part-time worker you may not come in for work every day.

When cleaning is your job

A lot of waste is created when goods are uploaded and shipped goods. So a large part of a warehouse worker's job is to clean. You may be a worker for washing or sanitizing the food material processing floor. It is mainly a rotating job where different people have to work on different days but the cleaning operation is needed everyday.

Dangerous part of this job

You have to work during hot summers or in a cold environment sometimes. When you work in a loading floor that have no shed and you may be exposed to rain or snow. You have to stand all the day long on the hard surface for this work or sometimes you need to carry heavy equipment. You may receive a physical injury by this work sometimes. Every time you run heavy machinery, you are at risk. So be careful.
